Second Thursday Opening: February 8, 5 - 9 pm
Jennie Thwing: Thoughts on Death
Jennie Thwing’s "Thoughts on Death" is a large-scale, multi-track video installation consisting of a series of intimate interviews set to pulsating, original electronic music. Each interview is methodically cut up, set to a base beat and then re-edited to the point of indiscernability. The videos reconceptualize the interviewees thoughts and uncover a hidden story behind their words.
Jennie Thwing is an artist from Philadelphia. She has exhibited her work at the Center of Contemporary Art in Seattle, the Institute for Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, the Blue Room in Rome, Italy, the Creative Alliance, School 33, and the Center for Art and Visual Culture in Baltimore, MD
Catherine Passante: Win Big
Catherine Passante's exhibition “Win Big” is a collection of digital work, printed on home décor keepsake objects such as coffee mugs, commemorative plates as well as within traditional framing, an action that places art within the everyday. These objects, typically used for capturing personal memories, reveal themselves to be icy mechanisms for freezing time when viewed out-of-context. Each image presents a single moment of noise, action and suspense, which thinly veils an obscure dimension of beauty and suffering.
Originally from New Jersey, Catherine Passante attended the University of the Arts during the 1980s. She currently works as a fine artist/web designer and lives in South Philadelphia.
